DVD *is* 720×480.
If you want a 1080 disk, you nave to make a blu-ray.

Get another GTX-465.
I have four monitors on my editing workstations, each using two GeForce cards. Windows will support as many displays as you have display adapters installed. Some extreme gamers have videowalls with 12 or 15 monitors.
To avoid conflicts, I *strongly* recommend that all display cards be the same. At least the same manufacture. This way Windows only needs to install one copy of the device driver.

Though I’ve sworn off helping people fix their computers, this comment needs an answer.
Low Memory or Out of Memory does not mean “Not enough RAM”, though adding RAM can sometimes fix a “Low Memory” waning. A “Low Memory” warning usually means that you have exceeded your commit limit. You need either a bigger page file, more physical memory, or both.
It has nothing to do with the program running. It’s a problem in your windows configuration.

I have done something like this to add some “dimension” to a mono recording of a conversational interview. I used the pan envelope to position the audio left or right by 5%. It’s subtle, but believable. Any more pan and it would sound very artificial or amateurish.
I also do this routinely when editing theater or stage performances. When the talent are all miked, it sounds fake when the actor walks across the stage and the sound comes exclusively from the center speaker. Again, no more than 5% pan or it comes across as exaggerated.

I haven’t ever connected to the HDMI port on my video cards, but I suspect that a dual-head video card will only output two video streams at a time. In other words, no.

The way I read the OP was that this is two performances. One for the video and one for the audio. There’s no way they could ever be in sync unless the band was listening to the studio version while playing the second video.

The violinist is definitely throwing a shadow on the floor. Her key light is to our left as evidenced by the shadow of the bow on her forehead and her shadow going to our right.
The plywood shadow was shot with a single flood on our right.
I really think this can be fairly easily done in Vegas with the split-screen technique as long as the two subjects don’t cross.

If you don’t overlap the two subjects, you can get the same effect in Vegas with the process I outlined. If you are very patient, you could keyframe a Bexier curve around the foreground person, but just avoid overlapping and you don’t need to worry about it.

Actually quite easily done. No greenscreen needed.
(Note that the real shadow on the floor goes *away* from her dancing shadow.)Good tripod is required. Lock the camera down and don’t touch it.
Shoot the video of the violin player. Note she is lit from the left and above.
Turn on a 1000-watt flood on the right, throwing her shadow on the plywood.
Shoot again while she does the dance routine.In editing, you have two video tracks. Use event pan/crop on each event to show only the shadow on the left track and only the player on the right track.
Someone on the Sony forums did this recently using this process:

When you do a “Render As” you need to select a type (MPEG) and a template (one of the DVD Architect templates). You then do another “Render As” and select “AC3” at the type. You need to bring the MPEG file into DVDA, and the AC3 file should move automatically.
